SRINIGAR, India, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- At least 34 Indian soldiers were injured in a bomb attack by suspected separatist militants Tuesday in Indian-administered Kashmir.

The soldiers were traveling in a bus 7 miles north of the summer capital, Srinagar, when a roadside explosive device was detonated the BBC reported.

Several of the injured were in critical condition.

The bomb is thought to have been hidden in a shop in the village of Lawaypora.

Hours earlier, at least 10 people were wounded in grenade attack in Kashmir's winter capital, Jammu, CNN reported.

The attacks comes after the authorities in Indian Kashmir said there had been a substantial decline in violence since a ceasefire was declared by Indian and Pakistani forces last month.

Stolen million dollar art collection found

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Philadephia police and FBI agents recovered stolen art and antiques from a collection valued at more than $1 million, the Inquirer reported Tuesday.

Acting on an anonymous tip, police raided a house Monday and found 50 paintings, furniture and two grandfather clocks. A few of the paintings were ripped or water-damaged.

Eighty Royal Doulton figurines in the collection, valued separately at about $100,000, still had not been recovered.

The most valuable piece, an oil painting by noted American painter Fred Wagner, was among the recovered items.

George Winns, in whose house the items were found, was charged with burglary and receiving stolen property, police said.

The entire collection, valued at $1 million, was stolen from a nondescript, working class home in north Philadelphia earlier this month while the elderly owner of the collection was in a rehabilitation hospital after being hit by a car.

Harry W. Lownsbury, 75, was expected to view the recovered items Tuesday and determine exactly how much of his collection, if any, was still missing.

Castro resembles Hitler in news photo

HAVANA, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Cuba is awash in speculation over a newspaper photograph of Fidel Castro who looks remarkably like Adolph Hitler, the Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

Published Dec. 4 on the front page of the communist daily Granma, the black and white photo was shot from a distance as Castro addressed American students at the Palacio de las Convenciones.

Using magnifying glasses to get a detailed look, Cubans were stunned by what they surmised was a deliberate manipulation of the photo.

"It was all over the street, everybody was talking about it," a foreign diplomat in Havana told the Herald in a telephone interview.

An employee at Granma offered a simple explanation, saying the microphone had created a shadow that looks like a moustache.

As news of the photograph spread, the Dec. 4 edition of Granma quickly became a hot commodity in Havana, selling for as much as $150. In the United States, the price shot up further.

Britain: Alcohol abuse 'out of control'

LONDON, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- A British opposition party says the mounting cost of alcohol abuse on the medical system is "spiraling out of control," the Daily Telegraph reported.

Cases of liver disease caused by excessive drinking soared 75 percent in six years and cost the National Health System more than $100 million a year, the Liberal Democrats health spokesman Paul Burstow said Monday.

"The culture of binge drinking among young people, particularly women, is damaging their health. Much more needs to be done to alert people to the health risks," he said.

According to government statistics in 2002-03, 151,086 "bed days" were taken up in hospitals by people with alcohol-related problems.

In 1996-97, the average length of a hospital stay for a patient with alcoholic liver disease was 12.7 days. By 2002-03 this was 14.1 days.

A government report in September estimated 17 million working days were lost to hangovers and the cost of treating alcohol-related injury and illness was $3 billion.
